User’s manual to Waltz’s NSA exit and its reverberations on Capitol Hill

Date:

Some context on National Security Advisor Michael Waltz being bounced.

He served for a little more than 100 days in that role after giving up a safe House seat in Florida.

Keep in mind that former Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fla., gave up his safe seat as well when he was nominated to become attorney general. Gaetz then withdrew his name from consideration.

Waltz and Trump

Republicans later sweated two special elections in GOP-leaning districts as their House majority waned.

MEET THE TRUMP-PICKED LAWMAKERS GIVING SPEAKER JOHNSON A FULL HOUSE GOP CONFERENCE

So both former Florida House members never served in the Trump administration, or did so for a short period.

Gaetz speaks at RNC

Meanwhile, President Donald Trump yanked the nomination of Rep. Elise Stefanik, R-N.Y., to be U.N. ambassador because there was concern about losing those Florida seats. Stefanik never got a confirmation vote and was forced to stay in the House – without a formal leadership position or a committee chairmanship.

Stefanik is also openly feuding with House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La.
